I used only forward slashes since pretty much aware of special meaning
of backslash which bites one almost everywhere like Perl, C, and not
only with the shell.

Although I thought my probs were solved - just now on my embedded system
where busybox is linked against uClibc it still doesnt work with the
same syntax which works fine on my Debian develbox - must though admit
that I used the OS mount command there instead of busybox (this test
will soon follow...); then I compiled mount.cifs with uClibc, and with
this I can mount on the embedded system although I get always a segfault
right after mounting - but the mount itself works, and I can access the
share .... :(
beeing again a puzzled penguin ...

aaaa, wait - just got it! Our busybox mount expects the unc option with
backslash, argh!!!

Can you please point me to the file where this happens so that I can
create a patch? And BTW. Allan Clark said mount should solf invoke
mount.cifs - but for me that does neither happen with Debian mount nor
with busybox; something special I need to do so that this happens?

Guen.
